Questions about Stephenson's behavior were raised during the Eastern
Conference finals after he blew into the ear of LeBron James during Game 5 and
got into a tussle with teammate Evan Turner in practice.

He was fined twice for flopping in the series and was whistled for 14
technical fouls during the regular season, fourth-most in the league.

"Indy, I had a great 4 years," Stephenson wrote on Twitter. "Thank you Larry
Bird, the fans, my coaches and teammates for the incredible experience.

"I will never forget any of you! I now have to look to the next phase of my
career and the wonderful opportunity to continue to grow as a player and as a
person in Charlotte! I'm excited to play for this franchise and the fans!"

Stephenson owns career averages of 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists
across four seasons with Indiana.
